The maths is quite straightforward and all aspects of the model are well validated elsewhere - short of me making a mistake with the EXCEL formulae, it is going to be pretty reliable - it is basic electro-optical engineering and certainly not my "theory".
Thanks for the pointer to the lecture notes, Ray. Interesting stuff!
